| Going through some seminar photos from 15 years ago....here is Tanker 1 from the New Vineyard FD in Franklin County, Maine. The converted fuel truck had a 2,300-gallon tank and was nicely converted to dump and load water pretty efficiently from the rear given the era. Few of these style tankers remain in-service today, but much of the home-made design work certainly transitioned into some of the features used on modern-day water haulers. This Tanker 1 no longer hauls water, a newer "fire service" tanker does that work now. |
